Having simultaneous versions 4 and 4.25
 
You can have both versions installed? In what way?
I have some PBEM games in version 4 and wanted to start another with version 4.25. A version 4 I copied to another folder and when I wanted to play gave me error. PBEM play Will not find the path?

No idea you did unzip PBEM to the correct folder & launch the correct version?
When you copied the game did you right click on game exec & send it to desktop as a shortcut. You need a diffrent shortcut for each version.
If neither of the above dont know 2 versions works fine.

PBEM files I put in the appropriate folder and launch the correct version. I'd have to try again when I have time. If the file path is in the *. dat do not think I can, unless you leave the version 4 in the original folder and the new version install in another directory. This issue was not tried.

IF you move the PBEM game files or the game itself while playing secure PBEM your game WILL fail.

You have to do a "full install" of SPWW2 separate from 4.0, and upgrade to 4.25 to play on the same level with others who have upgraded to 4.25.
Hence you will have 2 versions of WW2 going at the same time.
Then you play out existing pbem's on 4.0 version and uninstall 4.0 v when done.
Takes up alot of memory,going that route though:D
